The Oracle cards have insights from Jane on how to work with them – card interpretations along with the cards depicted in full colour. Jane has written a poem for each face of the seven Old Women and encourages us to work with them and create our own, unique relationships with them. In 2001, after the breakup of my marriage and in need of a job I went to manage a public house. One night, after the pub was closed, I heard a man shout my name and again felt something getting under my feet, like a small dog although I was alone, there was no one else there with me. This became almost a daily occurrence. Spirit seemed to be desperately trying to get my attention. In early 2003 after the sudden passing of my dearest brother Anthony, riddled with grief I went on what became a spiritual quest, desperate to connect with him once again. Within a month of his passing I was guided to join a local spiritual church's development class.

I have been aware of spirit's presence around me for as long as I can remember. At a very young age I would feel dogs sleeping on my bed and was awakened by the feel of cats pawing my bed covers. The spirits of animals seemed to be drawn to me, quite possibly as protection and to offer comfort to me as a young child. I also began to experience unexplainable phenomena, such as lights turning themselves on and off and hearing footsteps walking around in the hallway although there was no one there. My clairsentient and clairaudient gifts coming forth at a very young age. In 2005 I met a client who soon became a dear and trusted friend and whose support and encouragement would become integral in solidifying my spiritual path as well as my life direction. In 2006 I began my hypnotherapy studies and became a qualified practising Hypnotherapist although I never practisedthe profession as spirit, once again, had different plans for me. The word itself translates from the Irish Gaelic as ‘crone or hag’ but she is also known as ‘the veiled one’ and represents an important divinity figure in Irish, Scottish and Manx mythology. She is named within the landscapes of those countries; she is Winter itself; she is both creator and destructive force. The Long Road – I’m going to follow her! In 2008 I enrolled in a Psychology BSc(Honours) Degree which I successfully passed in 2012. Within this period, I dipped in and out of my readings and my spiritual work; only reading for my friends and family. Again, although I was not doing my spiritual work full time, I was pretty much amazed that time and time again I would be given validation and told that my predictions had come to pass, that my visions and messages from spirit had in fact materialized.Upon joining the spiritual church's development class my gifts began to develop at a very rapid pace. Soon thereafter, out of desperation, I took on a job on a phone line doing Spiritual readings assisted by my affinity to the Tarot and its guidance in helping me deliver messages to my clients.
